Green-breasted Pitta

This season’s tours to Uganda produced a knockout selection of Africa’s most sought-after species. Cuan Rush and Keith Valentine lead the respective tours and both our groups enjoyed fabulous sightings of the mythical Green-breasted Pitta in full display while exploring the depths of Kibale National Park. Additional highlights included Shoebill, Papyrus Gonolek, the rare Ring-necked and Nahan’s Francolin, White-naped Pigeon, Ituri Batis, Rufous-sided Broadbill and a plethora of Albertine Rift Endemics that included Neumann’s and Grauer’s Warbler, Purple-breasted Sunbird and the gorgeous Dusky Crimsonwing. Uganda has proved, yet again, why it has been and always will be one of the world’s best birding destinations!
